Sun, 13 May 2012 19:47:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Monica http://notesfromthefrugaltrenches.com/2008/08/16/learning-self-discipline/#comment-903 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 20:36:42 +0000 http://notesfromthefrugaltrenches.wordpress.com/?p=255#comment-903 I just discovered this blog, and it could not have come at a better time for me. I am at a time in my life where I am really struggling with self-discipline with money, and gaining control over it. This is inspiring. I am trying to work out my families needs vs. wants in this fast paced, crazy world we live in. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between the two. My husband and I do not by any means have great-paying jobs, however we certainly should be able to make enough to support our 2 kids, and each other each month, but it is truly amazing at how quickly it goes right out the door every month. I am trying to get in control of our finances. We don’t want to be in debt all our lives, but it feels like we will be. It feels never-ending. Everyday is a challenge. But I am happy I can now get on this Frugal Babe website for inspiration, and ideas for making it work.

Those that don’t watch their finances at all must give you the hardest time. Most of my friends/family respect how I manage my finances now, but there are still the comments from co-workers that I don’t appreciate at times. We all have different goals though, you can’t compare 2 lifestyles at all.

So, if one pan weren’t enough, I could easily get a second. But it does help to think about whether i really need it!

I’ve noticed too that I’ve gotten better about self-discpline vs impulse. Now that I’m working on my eating habits, I’ve noticed the same types of questions – do I really need that cookie?

Yes, it certainly takes lots of timing/planning but I’m amazed at how much I can cook with 1 pan!

I think you’re very good at establishing the difference between need and want too!
